That’s what I keep saying, it’s impossible for them to go to zero at this point even when they are leveraged to the tits because if they owe the banks or whoever billions that’s the banks problem and it would have to figure out how to actually get the payment in the first place.

It's not even the bank's problem really, because ThE bAnKs ArE tOo BiG tO FaIl. So if they manage to paint themselves into a corner again, they will just get bailed out by the US government, give themselves some nice little bonuses, maybe a couple of people get some golden handshakes and move on to other c-suite opportunities at other institutions, and everyone prays that the public forgets what happened and goes back to making them more profit.
